Our Mission

At Great Lake Adventures we prepare young people for life by teaching them leadership skills, immersing them in adventure, and challenging them to new outdoor skills.

In a world with unlimited “online” connections, Great Lakes Adventures teaches youth how to form personal connections and how to communicate with their classmates and friends. Students of our programs will leave having had real, hands-on experiences in our outdoor classrooms.

Our Method

Servant Leadership and Teamwork is the foundation of all we teach at Great Lakes Adventures. Through physical challenges, outdoor skills education, games, and activities, students are given the foundations to be successful at communication, teamwork, trust, planning, leadership, decision-making, problem-solving, and self-esteem. We work directly with our guests to provide the right program tailored to meet their goals. We are honored to provide experiences for students, teachers, and other groups in the greater northeast Ohio area or from farther away!

The great thing about Beaumont – because they’d never been there – the possibilities for them were kind of limitless...There truly was an adventure around every corner because they didn’t know where they were.
